Start with three colonies and lufncient equip- ment and then make the be«a pay their way. One colony does not glr« the beginner an opportunity to right mistakes or accidents profitably. Three colonies can be managed oy devoting one evening weekly to tbe apiary. Avoid many troublesome pitfalls by starting with the right hive. The 10 fr, Langstroth hive ha" given the best satisfaction in Ontario. All bee- keepers' supply houses carry this hive and its parts in their regular stock. Buy your first hives from a Rood manuracturer. It is very ne- cessary to have all hive parts inter- changeable so that they may be used in any colony in the apiary. Uul- tormlty and accurate workmanship alone can ensure this need. One complete 10 fr. Lang.strQtU hive consists of: â€" (1) A bottom board. (2) A hive body with self spacing frames and wire. (3) A telescoping metal roof cover. In addition the begiauer should provide for each colony one queen excluder; two extra hive-bodies com- plete with frames; and 7 lbs. of medium brood foundation, which runs t> sheets to th>j lb., tu fill the frames with a guide and (ouudatioa for the future combs. It is advisable to commence with a 2-lb. package of bees and queen; a swarm or a nucleus. Less danger I from disease attends the buying of I pound packages than the buying of I swarms and nuclei. Pound packag'jii j may be secured for delivery from May 1st to .'une 30tb. Ii#rly pack- > ages will yield a surplus If careiully f.niclj that nrOtfCtS tlu.^ CUI' handled. Enquire of the Provinciul |""''" t ^ ^, Apiarist re disease in your locall'v before buying swarms, nuclei or col- onies. The accessory equipment for the beginner should consist of: â€" (1) A veil of black cotton tulle. (2) A standard bee smocker. (3) A hive tool, (4) A spur wheel wire enil>edder. (5) An uncapping knife.
